High school honors classes typically involve advanced work and high demands. In Hopkinton High School’s art department, they also feature an opportunity to have work selected for exhibition in the Lotvin Family Gallery at the Hopkinton Center for the Arts.

Moreover, students whose art is chosen are involved in producing the annual exhibition, working with faculty to prepare and install the show and to host the opening reception. This year eleven seniors and two juniors take on these challenges.

Massachusetts State Senator, Karen Spilka recently talked with HCAM news. Topics included, a recent bill for capital facility repairs and improvements in the Metrowest that recently passed.
